5.4.10. Rotor Bearing Cartridge Oil Bath – Checking Oil Level
Important: The oil level in the rotor bearing cartridge must be checked and maintained at the
recommended level to ensure efficient operation.
1. Place the GrainVac on a flat, even surface that will help ensure that the machine is
as level as possible.
2. Remove the hoses from the hose racks.
3. Remove the rear upper guard to gain access to the bearing cartridge.
4. Remove the oil level check plug on the side of the bearing cartridge.

5. The oil level should come up to the lower edge of the check plug hole, which is the
correct level while the bearing cartridge is at its installed angle (see Figure 5.18). If
necessary, add oil through the breather plug hole (use SAE 75W90 synthetic gear
oil) until the correct oil level is reached.
